Abstract
The aims of this study were verifying the influences of social support(family, friend, community) on perceived burdensomeness and hopelessness and mediating effects of perceived burdensomeness and hopelessness between social support and suicidal ideation. In results, family support reduced suicidal ideation of the elderly through mediating role of perceived burdensomeness as well as serial mediating effect of perceived burdensomeness and hopelessness. Friend support reduced suicidal ideation of the elderly through parallel and serial mediating effects of perceived burdensomeness and hopelessness. Community support reduced suicidal ideation of the elderly through mediating role of hopelessness. Social support show not direct effect but indirect effect on suicidal ideation through reduction of negative influencing factor(burdensomeness, hopelessness). In conclusion, we proposed it were needed that various efforts which improve the relation between family members in the age of nuclear family and ageing era, social policy support which development social network of the elderly, and the efforts which keep informed the social policy support of the community.
